Hi Patti! You know, if the private lesson option interests your friends, there are a few instructors who teach both skiing and snowboarding. Believe it or not, it can be done!! Send me a message and I can give you more info on that if you'd like.

Hi there. KVC is the Kid's Vacation Center. The instructors there are great! Are you living in Steamboat now? My 2 girls, ages 3 and 5, will be in ski school starting in the beginning of December. My husband and I are both ski instructors here and...
Yay Ron! Good news...except I'm not ready to snowblow the driveway yet!! I guess I'll just have to suck it up! I think Barry must have been skiing at loveland or A-Basin or one of those resorts that opened earlier than us. I was going to go to Lov...
Hi Bobby,
My husband and I have lived in Steamboat for a little morre than 8 years now, and we are up on the mountain nearly every day of the season. Every winter since we've been here, the snow has been amazing! There has been quite a bit of powd...
Hi sf! I'm not sure of the name of the company off the top of my head, but I'll look into it. Just didn't want you to think that no one is checking in here. City Market is open on Christmas Eve, and I think it's open for a limited time on Christma...
Hi Ron! Glad to hear that you are planning another trip to Steamboat! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
How was your trip to Africa? Did the hunt go well? I'm looking forward to hearing about it!
Hi to all,

Finally!!! I was in Munich for 10 days then home for one then onto my folks house in Tampa with the kids. The one day I didn't check the beta site it goes live... I was hoping to be the first official poster child. Can't wait to see you and ski with you again soon.

Heya!
I've gone temp so that I can focus on my own riding and skiing a bit more and yes I am full time at the airport now which is a great way to keep learning about flying.
Noticed the forum was back open and THERE you were! I hope you remember us. You spent some time with Tessa, my wife and Jesse, my daughter last season in March. We'll be back again this year, same time (March 15th-) but for a few more days. I'll be calling the ski school after the new year to, hopefully, book some time with you mostly for Tessa again. She's convinced she's about to "break thru"!
Regards and have a wonderful holiday with your family!
i think we are going to the Sheraton for the Christmas buffet. Others have suggested the Ore House, Cafe Diva alos. Yes book ahead of time. thats what i will be doing next week.
Usually kids don't want to wear the hood thing, but carry it in your pocket just in case. If it's really cold once you get on there on the slopes, I'll bet you big money that'll change.
Temps have been great for snowmaking and we definitely have more snow this year than we had last year. I wouldn't worry, we tend to get dumped on in December.
Here's a good article about late starts and how the season turns out.
I have been checking the cameras lately, and there does not appear to be alot of snow on the mountain, and not much in the forecast?
Getting nervous about our trip out December 18th. Anything to worry about?
I agree with the balaclava. If your boys are going to wear helmets, which they should, then you can buy a nice under helmet hat/balaclava, a must in Steamboat. The key to keeping warm on the mountain is layers. (and toe warmers!)
I ski with my boys every January in Steamboat (now 10 & 8) and they wear the whole kit every day since they stay up top most the whole day ... base layer top and bottom, fleece top (& bottom if it's Arctic cold), and down jacket. They used to wear...
